Leather on leather

As it cooled down in Germany, I put all my 10000 tights out to be ready when  I continue wearing my dresses/skirts/shorts in the cool fall/winter season. Some of those summers pieces can be transitioned into this season, the ones with the thinner texture have a looooooong winter break now :-). I have seen lots of my blogger friends are sad about not beeing able to wear their summer items anymore. I am not at all, I get tired very quickly of the same stuff, so same changes are more than welcome :-)

I got this leather skirt a few years ago, and they've been on heavy rotation since then (in the winter I pair them with black/grey opaque tights as worn here). A leather skirt totally builds the foundation of an urban-cool look. I dressed it up by wearing that amazing statement necklace from H&M and my favourite printed scarf silk blouse. My nude leather jacket gives the elegant look a more edgier appearance. Have worn this when Eric took me out for dinner with my favourite friends couple :-)
Are you as obsessed with leather as I am? I am on a hunt for a nice leather dress, so when you see a nice one, let me know! :-)


Leather Jacket: Zara

2 trends in 1

 Dress: Mango
Blazer: C&A(old)
Necklace: H&M
Purse: Boutique in Salzburg
Heels:
Sunnies: Guess







As the military style is in again, I reconnected with this lovely gold buttoned khaki blazer that I got  probably over 6 years ago and got lost in my wardrobe :-) Haven't worn this wool dustry rose dress yet either (3 years old) so thought lets give a combo a try, pretty satisfied with the colour outcome. The only new things about this whole outfit is probably my silver layered necklace, super matchy with the belt. Not only is the camouflage/army style trendy this season but snake patterns that you can find on my heels. Do you like combining various trend styles in one outfit?

PS: Thanks to my man for letting me know that my selfmade headband is dangling on that last picture, how pretty is that? ;-) Didn't have a headband in that dress colour so cut of those straps that are on clothes to stick them on hangers ;-)
Note to oneself: Use more bobbypins to keep them in the right place or just get a real fancy one :-D

Magenta alert




Blazer: Forever 21
Belt: Zara
Dress: H&M
Heels: Zara


b







I got this blazer from my bf last christmas and acutally never wore it. As the dress by itself is kinda unspectacular, the magenta blazer adds that splash of colour and freshness to the whole outfit. Totally forgot about this violet belt I got probably like 5 years ago which accents the blazer pefectly. I think magents is probably one of my favourite colours of all time and I will try to incoorporate it with THE fall colour burgundy :-).

PS: Thank you to my wonderful love for taking those pictures of me. I dropped him off at the airport in zurich today, always such a heartpain for me ;-(. Well, I will jump into the fashion scene and occupy myself till we get to see each other again around Christmas, so the counting beginns again 12 weeks... :-(

Octoberfest "Wiesn"











I had a nice weekend get away with my man, our last one as he leaves this week*bummer*. Our destination was Munich- the Octoberfest and a nice sleep over in a Spa Hotel, where he could get over his hangover and some relaxation for me :-) We were so lucky with the weather, it was pretty mild for this season and no rain. The opening on Saturday was filled with rain, so we were some lucky kids yesterday :-) I was so excited to wear my Dirndl which I got extra for the Octoberfest. Also now  living at the countryside in the Lake Constance area there are lots of tradional festivities where I can get some use out of it. Not only do Dirndl's do magic to your titties they are just so flattering on each woman's body shape. I also like to get some leathershorts in the oktoberfeststyle, saw some girls that looked pretty stylish and hot in them.
As most of my lovely readers are not from Germany, I would like to give you some infos on the Octoberfest. My american bf asked me why the Octoberfest is called "October" -Fest also it's starting in September? :-) It has actually historical reasons. The Octoberfest is located very central on the so called Theresienwiese. The area Theresienwiese has its name from Therese von Sachsen-Hidburghausen who married Prince Ludwig of Bavaria in 1810. So their first marriage celebration was the actual first Octoberfest. In the following years the fest was repeated later on extended and accelerated. Of course the warmer weather in september plays a key role. The nights are warmer and it's more covenient to stroll around the 42 hectar area. The last octoberfest weekend still lasts till October. "Wiese" is the german expression for grassland, so "Theresienwiese means grassland of Therese. Nowadays "Wiesn" -bavarian word for "Wiese" is a synomym for Octoberfest.
Have you ever been to the Octoberfest or even worn a Dirndl?

flowery tube top


Top: Zara (old)
Shorts: H&M (old)
Faux leather vest: Pimkie
Sandals: JC Penny
Bag: Zara
Necklace: Sheik HRH Collection







 Trying out some serious looking glasses, so in love with the bows detailing, too bad I can't wear those at work, my applicants won't take me too serious otherwise hahaha...
 My nephew looks pretty sweet :-D
 You can find many cute fountains along the road usually including religious murals to get refreshed......

Totally forgot about those pictures that my man took of me during our trip to our shopping/sightseeing trip to Nis (2nd biggest city in Serbia). What I love about Serbia is that there are so many cute market places with selfmade stuff from the region.
As it was really hot I tried to wear as less as possible. Usually it's kinda chilly in the morning that's why I wore the fauth leather vest on top of my orange tube top. Those items except of my Zara bag and the vest are probably more than 6 years old. I love when I can incorporate new items with my older wardrobe :-)

Sequinned Sweater: H&M
Blouse: Mango (old)
Pants: H&M
Heels: Pier One
Bag: Boutique
Necklace: H&M





 
Ok fall weather arrived officially here in lake constance too. I took the opporunity to wear two of my already favourite items for this season. My new leather jacket from Zara that I have fallen in love with as soon as I spotted on the hanger at the coatrack. What a bummer that they don't go true by size, so of course the size I needed was sold out. AS soon as I got home I ordered it.l It's the colour that is so unique. I have been wanting a leather jacket for such a long time and now I have it with a super cute cut, pattern and that lovely nude colour. Must admitt H&M has super cute skinny jeans lately. Not only do I love the fitting of that jeans, but the wax material emphasizes the richness of that beautiful burgundy colour too. My new favourite colour for this season. The great thing about it, it goes with so many colours.... What about you, haven you been falling in love with that colour already?

Red splash


 

Blazer: H&M
Pants: H&M
Necklace: H&M
Pumps:  PIer One
Bag: Channel









 This weekend my man and I went to Meersburg (southwest Germany at lake constance) to attend a wine festival. Living in one of the most beautiful wine regions, I was really looking forward to taste some really good wine from my new hometown and of course introduce it to my american bf who is a passionate beerdrinker hahaha :-). So at least I brought him to "Oh I should start drink more wine instead of beer" STRIKE. I hate beer and when I drink alcohol than there is nothing better to have a good glas of wine while having dinner.
I have been itching to wear my new patterned pants for weeks but it has been way too hot. I paired it with my new red blazer, love this hue of red and as it will the trend colour for this coming season you will see me wearing this blazer quiete often.
